Hormone Optimization + Replacement
Hormones are essential chemical messengers in your body that regulate critical functions like metabolism, energy levels, mood, and reproductive health. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to imbalances that can affect your overall well-being. At Glow Wilco Wellness, we specialize in hormone optimization and replacement therapy to restore balance, relieve symptoms, and help you feel your best.
Hormonal Changes in Women
Women experience natural hormonal shifts throughout their lives, including during the postpartum window, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. The hormonal shifts can also impact fertility and overall well-being when addressing root causes like PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and low ovarian reserve. These changes can result in:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings and irritability
Low energy and fatigue
Weight gain
Vaginal dryness and decreased libido
Difficulty trying to conceive
Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women at any stage of life. At Glow Wilco Wellness, we offer tailored hormone therapy options to help you regain balance and improve your quality of life. Using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy*, your provider will build a personalized plan based on your symptoms, health history, and lab results.
Personalized bioidentical hormone therapy* options available in various forms, including creams, troches, capsules, injections, and patches.

*Many products sold as "bioidentical hormones" are compounded drugs, and compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. The FDA has no evidence that compounded bioidentical hormones are safe and effective, or that they are safer or more effective than FDA-approved hormone therapy. The FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed. The FDA has approved drugs that contain hormones identical to those women's bodies make naturally during their reproductive years. Individual results vary.
